Hoobens problem is that Heng Long are now producing much better tanks (with better electronics) at a much lower price. So the only people who are going to buy a Hooben are those few tankers who want something a bit rarer and are prepared to pay more on something that'll need fixing before it can be used.
Exactly my thought,beautiful looking and desirable but sorry to say I will pass on on this one for now,and look again at the Taigen full metal Panzer IV that’s suppose to be shipping this month.
Taigen are making a full metal Panzer IV? I thought all Taigen tanks had plastic upper hulls

Ahh,yeh your right I got a bit carried away, actually the upper body is still plastic but with full metal lower body and complete running gear plus metal turret and I believe the main gun barrel.
At a price just slightly more than the RTR Ferdinand.
But it’s a dry heat!

Does it involve a sledge hammer and chain saw?

Surprisingly no! It’s the Hooben one with a Ludwig cnc chassis and Asiatam metal running gear
